20160086960 | Low-Temperature Passivation of Ferroelectric Integrated Circuits for Enhanced Polarization Performance - Curing of a passivation layer applied to the surface of a ferroelectric integrated circuit so as to enhance the polarization characteristics of the ferroelectric structures. A passivation layer, such as a polyimide, is applied to the surface of the ferroelectric integrated circuit after fabrication of the active devices. The passivation layer is cured by exposure to a high temperature, below the Curie temperature of the ferroelectric material, for a short duration such as on the order of ten minutes. Variable frequency microwave energy may be used to effect such curing. The cured passivation layer attains a tensile stress state, and as a result imparts a compressive stress upon the underlying ferroelectric material. Polarization may be further enhanced by polarizing the ferroelectric material prior to the cure process. | 03-24-2016 |

20110167103 | MULTIMEDIA TRAINING SYSTEM AND APPARATUS - A method for providing interactive training, whereby a video display and a base station are coupled in communication with a computer. A plurality of wireless handheld remotes are configured for wirelessly communicating with the base station, and each of the remotes is operable by a respective trainee of a group of trainees. Each remote has a remote ID unique from all other remotes and is stored in non-volatile memory of the computer; and the base station includes a base station ID code unique from all other base stations, and the base station ID is stored in non-volatile memory of each remote. Each remote remains in an inactive state and is operable to be activated via a respective activate signal transmitted from the base station, and the base station is operable to transmit an activate signal to one or more of the remotes, the activate signal being effective for enabling the remote to transmit a signal, wherein the remote is deactivated upon completion of transmission of signal. Using unique IDs prevents interference from other wireless devices including remotes paired with other base stations. It also makes it unnecessary for one training system to operate on a different channel from another training system. | 07-07-2011 |

20090170246 | FORMING A 3-D SEMICONDUCTOR DIE STRUCTURE WITH AN INTERMETALLIC FORMATION - A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a first contact pad on a first die, wherein the first contact pad comprises a first metal element, forming a metal over the first contact pad, wherein the metal comprises a second metal element, and the second metal element is different from the first metal element. The method further includes rapidly reflowing a portion of the metal to form a thin intermetallic layer. The method further includes attaching the first contact pad of the first die to a second contact pad of a second die, wherein attaching comprises heating the first contact pad and the second contact pad to reflow the metal to form an intermetallic layer such that substantially all of the metal formed over the first contact pad is used as part of the intermetallic layer. | 07-02-2009 |

20090176366 | MICROPAD FORMATION FOR A SEMICONDUCTOR - A method forms a micropad to an external contact of a first semiconductor device. A stud of copper is formed over the external contact. The stud extends above a surface of the first semiconductor device. The stud of copper is immersed in a solution of tin. The tin replaces at least 95 percent of the copper of the stud and preferably more than 99 percent. The result is a tin micropad that has less than 5 percent copper by weight. Since the micropad is substantially pure tin, intermetallic bonds will not form during the time while the micropads of the first semiconductor device are not bonded. Smaller micropad dimensions result since intermetallic bonds do not form. When the first semiconductor device is bonded to an overlying second semiconductor device, the bond dimensions do not significantly increase the height of stacked chips. | 07-09-2009 |
